Papaya Juice

This is a no-brainer & I am sure most of you have tried this at least once.

Warning
"It is speculated that unripe papayas may cause miscarriage due to its latex content that may cause uterine contractions which may lead to a miscarriage, though this has never been proven. Papaya seed extracts in large doses showed to have a contraceptive effect on rats and monkeys, but in small doses were shown to have no effect on the unborn animals - Allergies and side-effects - wikipedia for Papaya"

Ingredients(for three)
  • 500g of Papaya (I used one half shown in the picture)
  • 3 table spoons of sugar
  • 3 glasses of water
Steps
  1. Completely remove the part attached to the stem(if not, this can introduce some bitterness)
  2. Remove seeds, peel off the skin & put the remainder to blender
  3. Add sugar, one glass of water & blend until all pieces disappear
  4. Add more water & blend for 15 seconds
Things to try
  • Deep freeze the fruit before starting. This will bring-in cooling effect which is neither too much nor too little.
  • Instead of adding water, you can try ice cubes. Just make sure your blender can deal with ice before doing so ;-)
Keep in mind
  • Do not add too much sugar. Papaya already has sugar & you should only add sugar to match the amount of water you add in.
  • Papaya juice has this tendency to get melted once it's open to air, which can be an unpleasant experience to some. So fill in the glasses when your about to serve.
  • Do not keep the juice in open air. It gets staled very quickly.
Here's how it came out ..

  1. I don't know if you have tried this, but melon with a hint of lemon (or lime, or any other citrus) tastes super. Yet another "no-brainer" juice.

  2. Hi Sumeda,

    I suggest you to try with cucumber (Pipingnga). It gives some delicious taste and I tried with banana, it too tasted good.
